Not Being Able to Love
For the Girls and Boys Who Have Been Hurt
Love. Love is the most powerful thing, a feeling which is unexplainable yet the most extraordinary thing ever. The thought of caring and giving someone everything sounds like a dream, but what if you cant? I’m sure people have loved someone so much so, no one else can compare. You hate the feeling of being lonely, yet you can’t find the perfect person to replace who you used to have. I’ve been in this situation before, and so have many people, so don’t ever feel like this feeling is unusual because it isn’t at all. It’s normal for you to compare any potential partners to your ex or someone you used to love; it is super hard not to do it. But it won’t get better or easier if you don’t learn to not do it. Of course, it will be hard, but you don’t want to feel like you’re in an unhealthy cycle just feeling sad and lonely all the time. I built up a wall ever since I parted from someone who I loved. I never gave anyone else a chance to talk to me or see if something would go somewhere. It’s not only unfair on the other person, but it’s also unfair on yourself. Don’t ever think you’re going to be lonely forever just because you haven’t given multiple people a chance. If you don’t feel it, then you don’t. You just have to learn that who you loved was someone you USED to. You and that person broke up for a reason. Yes, they might have made you laugh constantly and made you feel like you were on cloud nine, but who says no one else will make you feel like that? There’s millions of people in the world, but what makes you think not one person will be someone you’ll find and love? Go out and give people a chance. Even if you don’t feel it 100 percent, it will make you work it out if you have a specific type, or it will even make you realise what you do like that you wouldn’t think you would. In the end, you're making life lessons, and along the way learning about yourself. Just surround yourself with your friends and family because in the end, they are the ones you love the most. But remember the feeling of being lonely wont be forever; it takes time, but don’t waste your days away. Make the most of trying new things and putting yourself out there.

The Enigmatic Life of Lin Gengbai: Poet, Revolutionary, and Seer
Lin Gengbai, a poet from the Southern Society, was born in Minhou, Fujian. He studied in Beijing at the age of eight and was passionate about politics throughout his life. He once joined the Beijing-Tianjin Alliance and had the ambition to clarify the world. In the first year of the Republic of China, Lin Gengbai founded the "Yellow Flower and Blue Blood Society" with Chen Lesheng and others in Shanghai, with the urgent task of assassinating the remnants of the imperial system. After the failure of the "Second Revolution", he rose and fell. He first served as the secretary of the Senate and once acted as the acting secretary-general. He was only 22 years old. Although he was successful in his youth, he was melancholy. Soon he became angry and wrote poetry under the guidance of Chen Shiyi, a teacher of the "Jiangxi Poetry School". He was talented and innovative, and many people called him Li Yishan. Later, he was known as the "Chinese Poet of the Generation". He was not tall, with fair skin, clear eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, and had a bit of a foreigner's appearance. He claimed, " Cao Juren gave a speech at the Nan She Ya Ji, talking about the relationship between Nan She and the Xinhai Revolution. He believed that the Xinhai Revolution was a political movement with a strong romantic atmosphere, and Nan She's poetry and prose were the atmosphere of Gong Zizhen. Lin Gengbai was the living Gong Zizhen. Liu Yazi nodded in agreement, but Lin Gengbai was very unhappy: "I don't even have Li and Du in my mind, let alone Gong Dingan. Cao's being Gong Dingan is too shallow of me." At that time, people naturally referred to him as a poetry fanatic. Liu Yazi had been friends with him for more than 30 years, and Liu Yazi, who had high eyes, commented: "Gengbai's poetry is idealistic and charming, and although I am still ashamed, I am not as good as him. Are contemporary people who cling to their shortcomings worth a bite of their sword?"
